That glass can withstand anti-tank rounds. You have to have a very large caliber gun to break that thing.

Another fun fact, KV-1 was never really used in Winter War.
The things you described might have happened with T-26 and BT-5/7 tanks. But they were not common, because finnish soldiers could also use molotovs, logs and satchells, so they didn

You gotta admire the Finnish beating back those relentless Soviet attacks.-
Even with crappy planes like the Brewster:

Brewster was absolutely fine plane on right hands. You know finnish pilots called it "Sky Pearl", "Taivaanhelmi".
Read from here. It says a lot on this subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Buffalo#Finland

I've got mixed reactions to this thread as far as the Finnish stuff goes: I know I've seen reference regarding a very limited use of KV-1 and KV-2 on the Finnish front pre-Barbarossa (but no, I'm not going to go find it for you. I don't really care that much). But, the only way someone is going to shoot a KV driver is if his head is sticking out of the hatch - which is pretty likely, since accounts of those Russian vision blocks relate that they were opaque to the point of uselessness and therefore drivers commonly left the hatch cracked open even when they were under direct fire.
I personally love the much more passive method employed by the Finns: anti-tank loggers. The Finnish army resupplied itself with a large number of captured but completely undamaged Russian vehicles simply by jamming logs between roadwheels and then waiting for the crews to either surrender or freeze to death. This tactic has benefited modern historians because the Finns still have in their museums the only remaining examples of quite a number of early Russian tanks and military vehicles.

ugh not wikipedia. Anyway of course they loved it they had the most success with the Brewster. Where as on every other front it was a miserable failure and considered obsolete which is whay I said you gotta admire the Finnish.

Its a bit of a mistake to dismiss "outdated" designs like the Brewster (or PZL P.11c, I-16, Hurricane, Zero etc etc), because they had something more modern designs did not, extreme manouverabillity, they where nimble, quick to react to any input, and they would turn on a dime, if you ever got suckered into a furball with them, chances are they would have you for lunch.
That was their streangth, and they where just plain better at it than newer designs.
In the end, speed prooved more usefull, and the new designs where the wave of the future, but people are much too quick to dismiss how usefull thease older planes could be
